No they aren't. A number of proposals have been kicked around for decades. There has not been the will to implement.

Most importantly and very evident in the US: 100 yrs of reform can be rolled back in one day. We're seeing that reform is pointless.

It also means swinging the other way takes a day. (Unlikely, but now far more likely than before.)

Yeah! Clean the coils onthe fridge fast and easy. (Open windows first. Close cupboard doors.)

The joke is electricity and Linux.

The real answer is the free hardware.

My main reliable is from 2008? It cannot do modern virtualization due to not having the CPU instruction sets.

It is a great filter for people to avoid just like 'alpha male' and 'beta male'.

"Library" could be a biker gang or sex act. It seems doubtful, as does a "rusty trombone".

Fuck your lazy "are you a bot".

"Settlings Down" can mean different things.

It could mean:

  • get married, have babies, keep a job for 10 years.
  • stop getting drunk every night. Stop sleeping with random strangers. Keep a job long enough to pay me the $200 you owe me. Stop calling me at 3 AM to bail you out.

I think the first is often used as a polite way to say the second.

How despicable. This is horrible.

Used to run into this more. Some legacy systems imposed password limits that seem archaic by modern standards. The authentication system was just supporting systems from before newer standards were created.

I think some of those compatibility layers outlived the systems they needed to be compatible with. The people that knew the system retired ages ago and the documentation was lost 3 or 4 "documentation system" changes ago.

Anyway, those have no place on the modern web.

Variable rates are still available and common. They tend to be slightly lower rates than fixed rate mortgages due to volatility risks.

I interpreted their remark to be more about the fixed rate though. The $20,000 house could have a 20% fix interest loan.

They did say "shooting up", so maybe they are presuming variable rate mortgages.

Interestingly one can buy these patches and put on a vest.

Anyone detect a hidden meaning? (I like libraries.)

Seems an argument for "over employment", or at least taking a leave from current job to work second.

 

I am a jr. Dev, but not imaginative. I find most programming languages to be poorly advertised and explained. Usually they assume too much knowledge.

What would I use Web Assembly, like Goblin (https://spritely.institute/), for? Are there examples of Web Assembly programs?

It is for web pages, or online games? Can they be run offline?

 

Hello,

Where is the menu for adding filtered words? I had found the word filter before, but now I cannot. "Bans and Filters" looks like the right place, but I cannot add words.

Thanks in advance!

 

As an Atheist, I am often puzzled by the theist view that the Meaning of Life comes only from God. It seems very narrow, bleak, and heavy handed.

Do you find value in discussion of the Meaning of Life?
What do you think the meaning is?
What value do you think knowing the Meaning of Life brings?

 

Be careful out there.

 

I don't understand the Nintendo Switch. How many do I need for a family of gamers?

They are a personal device like a gameboy.
There is a TV version for party games.
The games may or may not be shareable, even with the physical games.
Assume the ideal usage is during screen time on a weekend.

I have been avoiding buying one as I don't understand them. Thinking of getting them soon.

I assume one OLED for the family and then a portable per person, then one copy of each game per device.

How is this affordable?

 

I like a certain unremarkable car from the recent past. As they are repairable currently, can one just buy all of the parts new and put it together?

Are there any parts that aren't sold new?

Have you done this?
Are there any tools to help one get all of the parts?
Any communities?

 

"The Mighty Ducks" did a good job featuring Minnesota. "D2" did a shit job. Even called Minneapolis a "po dunk town". I think the writers had nit watched the first movies.

 

The lines are long. The food is expensive. Everyone in the group wants to eat something different. The food taste is a gamble. There are few places to eat.

Does everyone stick together and wait in all of the lines? Split up and meet at some location? Eat on the way to the festival and just hang out?

It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.

What if we just cut out the rest?

Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.

 

In the USA, 3.1% claim Atheist, 4% Agnostic, and a total of 22.8% "Unaffiliated".

In Minnesota, 3% claim to be Atheist, 4% Agnostic, with a total of 20% Unaffiliated.

Posted as I often feel there are few Atheists in the USA. Turns out Atheists are under noticed.

 

I keep getting a red banner saying “Toastify is awesome” when updating. What does it mean, and what should I do differently?

 

How would one actually calculate the full "fruit of labor" in work that includes several people doing different tasks?

How to calculate between people doing the same task producing physical items seems easy. Add in customer service, sales, and development, and it seems easier to focus on what other groups pay for those skills, which is not what I want.

It also seems looking at the difference between having the role, and not. However some skills are mandatory, just less involved.

Feel free to simplify, but different tasks is a must.
